AN OLD YEAR SONG.

As through the forest, disarrayed
By chill November, late strayed,
A lonely minstrel of the wood
Was singing to the solitude:
loved thy music, thus said,
When DER thy perch the leaves were spread,
Sweet was thy song, but sweeter nos
Thy carrol on the leafess bough.
Sing, little bird! thy note shall cheer
The sadness of the dying year.
When violets pranked the turf with blue:
And morning filed their cups with dew,
Thy slender voice with ripping thrill
The budding April bowers would fll,
Nor passed its joyous tones away
When April rounded into May.
Thy life shall hail no second dawn :
Sing, little bird! the spriug is gone
And remember, well-a-day!
Thy full-blown summer roundelay,
As when belinda broidered screen
Some holy maiden sings unseen:
With answering notes the woodland rung,
And every treetop found tongue. =,
LIZ" oSoP ouo oudloI Guo SIOfco INV Id :
Sing, little birdl the woods are bare.
The summers throbbing chant is done
And mute the choral antiphon;
The birds have left the shivering piues
To fit among the trellised vines, 80
Or fan the air with scented plumes ~
Amid the love-sick orange-blooms,
And thou art here alone-alone,
Sing, little bird! the rest have flown.
he snow has capped yon distant hill, 81
At morn the running brook was still,
From driven herds the clouds that rise
Are like the smoke Of sacrifice; ~,
Ere long the frozen sod shall mock q
The plougbshare, changed to stubborn rock
The brawling streams shall soon be dumb,
Sing, little Bird the frosts have come
Fast, fast the lengthening shadows creep,
The songless fowls are half-asleep, 80
The air grows chill, the setting sun
May leave thee ere thy song is done, ..t .s
The pulse that warns thy breast grow-cod,-
Thy secret die with thee untold: 5'iSf
The lingering sunset still is bright, ~
Sing, little bird u will soon be night. -

What is known as the driven we'll patent,
which has been several times before the
United States Supreme Court, and which has
always been sustained, has now been declared

based upon the record in case No. 10, Andrew
Green and others against George Hovey,
brought to Washington by an appeal from
the United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of Iowa
The Supreme Court holds that the fact,
now made to appear for the first time in the
driven we'll litigation, that the invention was
used in public ut Cortland, N. Y, by Others
than Green moro than two years before ap-
pllcation for patent was made is fat winch
: fatal to the patents validity. The decree
4, the Circuit Court in favor Of the alleged
infringer, Hovey, is affirmed.

A High. Ro.iIng GAms Of Poker

OIL Oily Dorr ez.
Charlie Lobaugh, who is now farm
ing In Warren County, was in the city
yesterday and said TO Derrick re
porter: II see you are printing queer
things that have happened in the oil
regions. ! was at Petroleum Centre
when old Benninghotf was robbed oI
1850, 900 in cash that he had got out
of his oil farm. As near as the detec'
tives could figure it out, there were
five men engaged in that robbery.
which would be dividend OF $50, OOO
for each. saw mau afterwards,
who was suspected OF being concerned
in the big steal, lose S25 900 in one
night at poker and keno This was
some two months after the robbery,
and when the detecti es were chasing
around the country after the robbers.
The polio, at Petroleum Centre sus-
pected this fellow, but there was no
evidence whatever against him except
that he was sport who lived high
and did nothing.
Twas in a gambling saloon at the
Centre one night when this sport was
rolling high. He paid his losses IN
cash as long his big roll lasted. and
then gave cheeks. which were freely
accepted. John Wilson, who KILLED
himselfin Cincinnati, won 5000 from
him on wager concerning the pedt
gree of uotting horse owned in
Rochester, and 60, the money in cash
After he dropped the $25,OOo he dis
appeared from the Centre. This con
firmed the suspicion Of the police tha
he had hand IN Iobbing Benning
hoh. Search was made for him, bu
without success. and from that day I
this he never turned up"
